Allan Melvin has died. Who's the third?

Post by buffalobill »

Allan Melvin, died of cancer at 84. He was a veteran character actor who also (according to imdb) did voice work on Gummi Bears, Tale Spin & Duck Tales. He was best known as Sergeant Hacker on Gomer Pyle, Barney Hafner on All in The Family & Sam The Butcher on The Brady Bunch. RIP
15 gallon 7 pint blood donor as of 1-4-11. Done donating. Apparently having Cancer makes you kind of ineligible to donate.

And let us not forget his always superb work in The Phil Silvers Show (aka Sgt Bilko) as the much put-upon Cpl Henshaw.

I always wondered about this too as I've noticed this as well. Usually one celebrity dies and within a week or two, two more follow. Strange coincidence? :shock: :scratch: It's happened quite often and it kind of creeps me out. :?

And all you Hanna-Barbara fans don't forget that he was the voice of Magilla Gorilla!

I know. I remember the time Paul Winchell (voice of Tigger) died one day and John Fiedler (voice of Piglet) died the next day.

I admit I didn't recognize his name at first, but while I was looking at his filmorgraphy and saw "Sam the butcher on The Brady Bunch" I was shocked!

RIP! :(

Add Heath Ledger to the group. Perhaps a better way to round out the three than Brad Renfro, who didnt do much of anything.
